Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova becomes a mom

It’s always nice to hear from legendary Czech Petra Kvitova during Wimbledon. Typically we see her at SW19, where she is a perennial threat to wreak havoc on the women’s draw at the fabled grass-court tournament.

This year we hear from 2011 and 2014 Wimbledon champion Kvitova on social media, with great news! The 34-year-old has announced the birth of her baby boy Petr, born July 7.

Fitting that she has had a Wimbledon baby – watch out for Petr at Wimbledon in two decades.
